Guest guest Posted July 22, 2002 Report Share Posted July 22, 2002 The sage is characterized by eternal and intense activity. His stillness is like the apparent stillness of a fast-rotating top. Its very speed cannot be followed by the eye, and so it appears to be still. So is the apparent inaction of the sage. This must be explained because people generally mistake his stillness as inertness. It is not so. There is no activity under the Sun which is more intense than that of a jnani, because he is the plenum, the pure consciousness which is the storehouse of all energy in the universe. The jnani is fully aware that the true state of being remains fixed and stationary and that all actions go on around him. His nature does not change and his state is not affected in the least. He looks on everything with unconcern and remains blissful. His is the true state, the primal, natural state of being. There is no difference between the jnani and the ignorant (ajnani) in their conduct; the difference lies only in their angles of vision. Place your burden at the feet of the Lord of the universe who accomplishes everything. Remain at all times steadfast in the Heart, the transcendental absolute. God knows the past, present and future. He will determine the future for you and accomplish the work, what is to be done will be done at the proper time. Don't worry. Abide in the Heart and surrender your acts to the divine. ~Sri Ramana Maharshi "Absolute Consciousness" LoveAlways, Mazie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
